This is the emotional moment Yinka Ayefele’s son asked him why he can’t stand
In a video shared to his Instagram page, his son, Richard was heard asking his dad to explain to him, the reason he can’t get up like others.
In the video, the singer and his kids were seen lying on a bed as they engage in a heart-to-heart discussion.
His son, Richard, driven by curiosity, directly questioned his father about why he couldn’t stand on his feet.
A shocked Ayefele then responded saying he was involved in an accident.
Little Richard, still curious, persistently sought more details.
The singer then explained that it was an auto crash that occurred during the festive season on December 12, 1997.
Curious about the car accident, Little Richard and the other kids listened as Yinka described how he was driving on a slippery road when his car somersaulted six times and landed in a deep pit within a bush.
Ayefele recounted being rescued by Good Samaritans who promptly took him to the hospital.
He shared that he later underwent further treatment in London for better recovery.
During the conversation, Ayefele noticed his son’s concern, assuring him that he would be fine and expressing confidence in his ability to walk someday.
In the video, Ayefele also disclosed how his son encouraged him to try standing up from his wheelchair and engage in exercises to aid his recovery and regain the ability to walk.
Sharing the emotional video, Ayefele captioned it “They always want me to stand up… And they kept asking me why every day, even up till last night… I tried hard not to be emotional… Indeed, it was ‘My turning point. 12/12/1997’. To God be the Glory,”
